As you know, I am mildly obsessed with all things supernatural - they make up a huge chunk of my reading and watching time. Something struck me whilst watching Supernatural (I’m on series 5 watching the box set – do NOT tell me if they save the world or not ) and reading Paranormalcy by Kiersten White (a YA book about a girl who tracks paranormal for [...]

Young adult book faves by a non-young adult
As we come to the end of 2010 I thought I would review all the young adult books I’ve read and list my favourites here: 1. Vampire academy: Last Sacifice I heart this series and this was a fitting end to Rose’s story. She ended up with who she was supposed to and it left [...]
